Hi,
I have an 80 lb dog that I want to ride in the passenger seat of my Goldwing. I have one of those vest things that buckle her to the seat belt in a car, but I need to come with something that she can be safe and comfortable with that I can make. I want to take her up to Wisconsin this Spring and its an 8 hour ride. She would need to lay down and move around some.

This is how I did it back in the 70s. We did 12 hr days many times by stopping every 100 miles so Cody could stretch his legs. Sat up all the time. He sometimes would nod off laying his head on my shoulder.

Wow, back in the 70's, those were good times. You two look like you had a great time. Is that made out of plywood? I will have to take something off to fit something like that. Thank you so much newday777.

Yes it was made of plywood.
We had 35,000 miles riding together, 5 cross country trips.

i too have been working at the best answer to this question ,,My dog is only 30 lbs ,, i have been wracking my brain to figure this out . Attach a dog cage to the back of the wing and so on ,, But so far the only safe answer i have is ,let the dog stay home or with friends . Look at it as you would with your wife or husband .Sometimes time apart can be a good thing ![or not]
About 20 years ago ,,i left my wife at home ,, i still cant find her .. OH BOY !

Lou Lou is my baby ,goes everywhere i go ,,I would just love to figure out away to get a nice dog box hooked up on the gl1200,,Ive tried a few times ,but so far cannot come up with something safe and secure .When i take off on the bike ,she gets really pissed at me ...Hmmmm! Maybe thats why the wife left years ago >

The 1200s are a little easier to rig up a seat like I had as your tourpac (trunk) pops off and the mounts for the rack are accessible to mount a seat for her.

Was curious if you ever came up with a solution because I have the same problem! I have a GL1800 and my dog Deuce is an 80 lb. American Bulldog. So far the best I can come up with is a harness that I could somehow strap to the rear sub-frame under the rear trunk. It would sure be nice if you came up with a workable solution so we could start traveling. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
... and Thank You for your service!!
Thanks,

The absolute best solution for bringing your furbabies on a ride is a sidecar! They are completely safe in the hack, and can sit or lay down as they prefer! Not to mention all the attention you'll get...

I appreciate the answers but I'm not financially ready or wanting a sidecar. My daughter is in her last year of college so it's just me and my brute and I feel bad putting him in his kennel whenever I go somewhere being I only have the bike for transportation.
